I've put off commenting for a long ...Boniface,<br /><br />I've put off commenting for a long time because I basically feel I've nothing to say (unless I have actually commented before and can't remember), but I must say that your blog has been absolutely instrumental to my progression from Catholic conservatism to being a traditional Catholic. Besides this blog, the other contributor is the fact that here in Nantes in France, there is an FSSP Church so I have been able to attend Sunday TLM and even daily TLM, as well as Confession in a proper Confessional where I am on my knees behind a screen (as it should be). Therefore, I've been able to read your reasoning on this blog and then see the practical reality and truth of your points when attending the TLM. So for that, I would like to say thank you and that you're in my prayers :)<br />PS Don't read my blog: it was conceived in pride and I waffle immature nonsense in the few posts I've put up - the only advantage of having it now is so that I can read blogs like yours more easily.spraffmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651988079265709782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-28441459255889709582009-11-02T16:34:53.274-05:002009-11-02T16:34:53.274-05:00Anonymous,

Then you get the quest reward. <br /><br />---<br /><br />Unless things have changed, you cannot chose to play on the evil side. You can play as the "Horde", which is composed of Orcs, Undead and so on. Horde characters are certainly uglier than Alliance characters. However, in the WoW mythos, the Horde are very specifically not evil.Sam Danzigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927282324472720929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-17324025962056674192009-10-28T08:48:32.834-04:002009-10-28T08:48:32.834-04:00Alcuin,

However, you did not comment on some of the areas I have problems with (maybe these were added to the game later) For example, the "ritual portal" in which you sacrifice to demons to get more power. Using weapons made from demons. Choosing to fight with the evil side. The whole game seems to make light of of evil, which I find very troubling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-69302804391828414122009-10-27T19:55:15.312-04:002009-10-27T19:55:15.312-04:00Boniface,

For better or for worse, I live in the city where Blizzard (the company that makes WoW) is located. Because of the circles I run in, I have close friends who were/are involved in making WoW.<br /><br />That being said, I haven't played the game personally in years, so some of what I have to say *may* be out of date.<br /><br />Please feel free to use any/all/or no part of these comments.<br /><br />1) For the most part, WoW is a neutral game. Morally, I think it would be most directly comparable to gambling. At the WoW release party in Los Vegas, one influential Blizzard employee was overheard having a long conversation with one of the pit bosses. The employee was convinced that based on their experiences with WoW, they could make the slot machines more addictive.<br /><br />2) Given the general tone of the internet, WoW is a relatively clean place. They work hard to make sure that no one names their characters anything offensive, and have curse word filters on the chat. When Blizzard found out that one of their players was making World of Warcraft inspired pornography and advertising it in the game, they quickly banned that person from playing.<br /><br />However, when you tell the Nightelf Female to "dance", it does look like a stripper dance.<br /><br />3) There are two ways to play WoW: Player vs Player (PvP) or Player vs Environment (PvE). In Player vs Player, you are stuck in a war with the other team and the language filters are set so that you cannot communicate with your enemies. This does lead to all sorts of horrible behavior. I've seen grown men still furious over something that happened days ago in a PvP game.<br /><br />4) WoW does a good job of teaching people how to be organized and work in teams. Running a guild is a lot like running a club or a company in the real world, and being a guild member is a lot like having a job. WoW can teach people how to get along with others and get things done.Sam Danzigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927282324472720929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-38420569309158441652009-10-27T11:00:25.283-04:002009-10-27T11:00:25.283-04:00Thank you for this blog - I appreciate your view o...Thank you for this blog - I appreciate your view of things!<br /><br />A while back you encouraged people to write in with questions, I have one for you...<br /><br />I believe you are a youth director at the church. May I have your opinion on World of Warcraft? From different descriptions of the game I have come to the conclusion that it is a very evil game. My son, who is a fan of fantasy, also thinks this game is horrible. However, I don't seen any catholic website warning people off of it. Even more disturbing...I recently witnessed the spetacle of a popular catholic website basically saying it is no big deal except for wasting time. Only a couple of people spoke out against it. <br />Apparently there are millions of young people playing this online game!<br />Could you please give your opinion?Thank you! <br />God bless you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-54585357244619235962009-10-27T08:30:56.998-04:002009-10-27T08:30:56.998-04:00Yep..... it was like coming home again.
